“When the Negativity Gets Turned Up”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Monday to you.
You know Beloved, whenever life becomes challenging and it seems like the negativity has been turned up, that’s a sign you’re closer to your victory. I’m talking about those times when lies bombard your mind,when people are talking about your goodnes in a negative way, when you’re tempted to get depressed or feel like throwing in the towel. Beloved, don’t quit!!! That’s not the time to back down. That’s the time to dig your heels in and put on a new attitude because you’re close to your breakthrough.
Maybe you’ve had a lot of things come against you. It seems like the more you pray the worse it gets. You just know you’re doing the right thing, but the wrong thing is happening more people challenge who you are in Christ.The easy thing is to say, “Forget it!!! I don’t have to put up with this!!!” “This marriage is never going to work.” “I’ll never be able to raise this child.” Or, “I don’t like this job.”
Beloved, instead of getting discouraged, instead of going around sour and bitter, you need to say:
“I’ve come too far to stop now. I’ve been through too much to back down. I realize the reason the negativity has been turned up is because I’m about to clinch my victory!!!”

“Like-Won’t Get You into Heaven”
You know Beloved, in a grocery store there are many items. Some we look at, some we like, some we miss, some we don’t like. But the items are in the store whether we like them, miss them or don’t like them.Beloved, Jesus Christ walked this earth over 2,000 years ago. There are many who liked Him, many who didn’t like Him and many who didn’t know Him. But that didn’t and hasn’t stopped the message He represents from reaching the masses. Beloved, Christianity isn’t about popularity or how many “Likes” you get on your social media sites. But one thing it is about is who you have reached with your message.
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who visited Jesus one night to discuss Jesus’ teachings. You see, He didn’t come to Him by day because of who and what he represented. There are many “Nick’s at night.” They read your post but because you don’t attain a certain look, a popular status, who you are, what family pedigree you come from, what they think of you, what they have said or others have said about you or you are not in their clique, they will not click the “Like” button.
Beloved, if you’re one who do not get many “likes” don’t let it get you down!!!
As long as your message is out there, it reaches more than you can imagine!!!Colossians 3:23-24 (AMP) says:
23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.Titus 2:7-8 (AMP)
7 And in all things show yourself to be an example of good works, with purity in doctrine [having the strictest regard for integrity and truth], dignified, 8 sound and beyond reproach in instruction, so that the opponent [of the faith] will be shamed, having nothing bad to say about us.Beloved remember, it is God who forgives us and orders our steps.
Popularity (Likes) want get us into Heaven.
Let us all thank God for His Grace and Mercy!!!“To God Be The Glory!!!”

“A New Vision”
Praise The Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!Beloved allow me to ask you a few questions.
Are you ready for new growth? Are you ready to go to the next level, spiritually, physically and emotionally? Well if you are I may be able to help you.As I was doing my morning Bible reading I came across Mark 2:22 which says:
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.”Beloved, in that verse Jesus is actually saying that you can’t go to a new level with an old mentality (out of date thinking). You know, I’ve found that many people hear the truth that God has more in store for them, and something resonates on the inside. Their spirit comes into agreement with God. But many times, their natural minds will try to talk them out it. Thoughts come like, “It’s not going to happen for you. You’re not going to have a great year. You know what the economy is like.” Or, “You’re never going to get well. You saw what the medical report said.” “You’re never going to get married. You’ve been single so long. It happens for everyone but you.”
Friends, those are the old wineskins that you have to get rid of. This is a new season. What’s happened in the past is over and done!!! You may have been through some disappointments, some frustrations, some scares, you may have tried and failed, or things didn’t work out. That’s okay. We serve a God of restoration. It’s time to get a new vision for your life.

“Loyalty”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Tuesday to you.Beloved, have you ever noticed that honesty and loyalty go together? In other words, if we’re not being loyal to our family, friends, country, job, then we aren’t going to experience God’s best. You see, loyal people are honorable people. When you’re loyal, you stick with someone through thick and thin. When you’re loyal, you keep your word to people EVEN if you get a “better” offer.
Also, loyal people are respectful to their family and people with right moral influence. Loyal people honor their parents and defend their family. When you’re loyal, you’re a person of integrity. You build trust with others.
Beloved, there are so many that claim they’re faithful and committed to people when they’re in front of them. In other words, they say and act like they’re loyal when they’re in the presence of the individual and then they become uncommitted just as soon as the individual is no longer in their presence.
So actually in front of you they are portraying a constant lie.Beloved, Beware of the Habitual Liar!!!
Their dishonest is relentless!!!
THERE IS NO INTEGRITY FOR A HABITUAL LIAR!!!“OH habitual liar, the veracity of your dishonesty has destroyed your accountability.
Can’t you see, you have lost your correct morality, along with your credibility.
What lie will you tell next? How many more lies are you going to tell, before you wake up and realize, your soul is vexed? You have been exposed by a godly lamp, now everyone knows you’re the
Judas in the camp?” (Bishop, Dr. W. F. Houston, Jr.)Beloved, don’t let the distractions of everyday life keep you from being dedicated. Look for ways to show honor to those around you especially those that are loyal to you. Show love by staying loyal.
As scripture promises, when you pursue loyalty and righteousness, you will find the abundant life God has planned for you!!!

“Unanswered Questions”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Friday to you.Beloved, are you going through a situation in your life that you don’t quite understand? You know it’s during these uncertain seasons, it’s natural to question things that you’re thinking about. But in order to move forward, you have to look forward with your heart (mind and emotions). Beloved, you have to look beyond the questions and continue to trust in The Almighty God.
You see as a Christian, serving God means you’re going to have some unanswered questions. You may never understand why a relationship ended sooner than you would have liked. You may never understand why you lost a loved one. You may never understand why you went through something difficult or why your prayers didn’t get answered. But at some point, you have to decide to put your questions aside and go on with God. You have to decide to “TRUST” His character even when your circumstances don’t make sense. The Bible tells us that adversity (hardships, difficulties, harsh conditions, misfortunes, hard times) will come, but God is the one who promises to lead us into victory.
He has promised that He’s going to turn that difficulty around and use it for your advantage.
Beloved, believe me when I say: “He’s Faithful to His Word”, and you can be sure that He will fulfill every promise He’s made to you.“To God Be the Glory!!!”
